Australia has unique plants and animals. 80% of plants there cannot be seen anywhere else around the world naturally. They’ve got wet and dry forests, bush lands, rainforests and so on. There are special types of animals here like the kangaroos and koalas. It’s because their predators and competitors do not exist there. Other animals like reptiles, amphibians, birds are very different there too. They all developed features that suits the Australia environment.
Australia's Desert Country.One third of Australia's land is desert. Australia has 10 deserts of which the largest is the Great Victoria Desert, covering just under 5 percent of the country. Ironically, the Great Victoria Desert is not located in Victoria but is in Western Australia and South Australia. The Great Victoria Desert covers 348,750 square kilometres which makes it around one and a half times bigger than the UK or slightly smaller than Montana.
Australia hasn’t got a lot of water resources but there are other resources like mineral and energy which they’ve got a lot. The most important mineral exports are iron ore, bauxite and so on. Most of them can be found in the western plateau region. Energy like fuel are from swamps buried millions of years ago.
